It seems to fit with what we already know about OSM. Guildford's blue,
since its roads are all mapped. Birmingham & the West Midlands are
equally well-mapped, but Mansfield and lots of South Yorkshire aren't.

There are some oddities in there -- the area around Fort William and
Loch Leven is marked in red, but I wouldn't expect to find a much
greater density of roads there.

Interesting that the area around Falkirk and Grangemouth is red -- I
noticed the absence of any Scottish targets in Andy's list the other
day, but given that Glasgow and Edinburgh -- where most people in
Scotland live -- are well mapped wasn't overly surprised.

Can you update this regularly?
